After graduation and working for a few
years, I decided to start my own business.
We realised that Vadodara was the right
place to start a business from because of
the great balance it offers in terms of
work, leisure and family life.

First of all, the size of the city is small so
you don't spend much time commuting.
I can get from home to the tennis courts,
play tennis for two hours, go back home,
freshen up and still get to the office in
time. 10 hours of office work and then
I join my family for dinner. So, the life here
is convenient, easy-going and balanced.

Second, there is a sufficient talent pool
here - both in terms of intelligence and
cultural diversity. In the technology
business, we need smart and creative

people and Vadodara offers these in
plenty. Moreover, being home to the
MSU, Vadodara has both education and
cosmopolitanism in its genes. There are
people from all walks of life - art, culture,
music, science, technology - everything.

Finally, when you go out and socialise,
you see people from varied background.
Honestly, Vadodara is one of few cities
which offers many opportunities to
interact with a large diversity.

Our company Matrix exports telecom
and security solutions to more than
25 countries - all researched, designed,
engineered, manufactured and
marketed from Vadodara. This is what
Vadodara offers!
